PRINT YOUR OWN GCODE
You can print your Gcodes in 3 different ways:
1. Load the Gcode into the internal 2GB memory using the USB cable ( slow transfer / safe to print )
2. Load the Gcode on a FAT 32 formatted SD, insert the SD into the LCD ( fast transfer / safe to print )
3. Stream the Gcode trough the USB connection using a host software like Pronterface ( not safe for long prints )
CAUTION
: When creating your own gocdes remember to put the homing command, G28, into your software start routine.
Do not turn off the printer until the nozzle is below 50°C.
